Roe v. Wade was the wrong decision in 1973

"The U.S. Supreme Court was right to return this decision to the states and elected officials. Roe v. Wade was the wrong decision in 1973 and important policies like protecting the lives of unborn babies should be decided by elected representatives. I believe today's ruling will bring about a better future for our country, one that honors life and elevates the critical importance of protecting the helpless and vulnerable. In Congress, I will work to protect life and fight for the unborn." Source: 2022 MN-1 House campaign website Press Release "Roe" , Jun 24, 2022
